Public health students experience Panama

In June, USC Master of Public Health students participated in a graduate course in Panama through a collaboration between the Keck School of Medicine of USC MPH program and the University of South Florida Health Program. The students traveled to Panama as part of a two-week practicum opportunity to conduct fieldwork, visit health agencies and tour cultural sites. Of the eight students, six are studying in USC’s Online MPH program.
